Biscuit Shortage

Apparently there is a biscuit shortage in our area.
I made a deer stew today in the slow cooker and thought some biscuits would go good with it.
I had to make a 45 minute run to another town and got there earlier than I needed.
Figured I'd kill time in their Dollar General and pick up some biscuits to go with the stew.
They had nothing.
On my way home stopped by our towns DG, none.
The wife called on her way home and I told her to stop and get some.
She stated that last week, there none at WM. No frozen or the pop up kind
She stopped by the Kroger and bought the only thing of pop up biscuits they had.
Not sure if its a trucking thing or just what it is.
Of all the things to not see in a store though, biscuits.

they are very few in our area in Wv
If you have flour, I don’t see how there could be a shortage?

I do agree.
Nothing stopping me from making them homemade,
Best was to get your hands good and clean, kneading biscuits.
Just making an observation and being lazy making homemade.
This news has me nervous: first the biscuits disappear, then gravy will vanish, and then...no more sausages 😪
Kneading biscuits? Egads, no wonder you buy store bought. 😁
Whop biscuits are NOT BISCUITS!!!
Get to hand squashing and forget about that crap in a can!
i have used corn flakes in chili when there was no crackers
Cheese Doritos is the BEST thing for chilli!!!!!
Trust me, it will change your outlook on life! 😁😎👍🤗
Little flour, little butter, baking soda, pinch of salt. Some butter milk, and crisco.
Get your daughter to mix and knead it.
Same amount of time as fake "stuff" from some kind of weird container...
Don't even joke about that.
I feel compelled. 2 c flour. 1 stick butter. 4 t baking powder. 1/2 t salt. 1 c + buttermilk. Chop the butter into the flour and other dry stuff. Add the buttermilk. Only mix it till it forms up into a ball on your wooden spoon. Stop mixing. No kneading. You're done. Press the dough out on a surface coated with cooking oil. About an inch thick. No rolling pin. Hands. Cut the dough with a mason jar ring. 450 degrees 12 min +-. I usually get around 9. When you mess with the dough kneading and rolling, the biscuits don't raise up as well.
I still cheat a bit but this stuff sure beats those canned store bought ones!
my wife when in a hurry uses this and we also have the bisquick on hand but the southern biscuit we think is better
as for me I do love a good scratch , home made biscuits a lot better add on butter and maybe some jelly and I am good to go . it was a desert when I was a kid 😉
and of course gravy and sausage is a given 😍 and hard to beat add a coupe fried eggs bacon and well it does not get much better even for a supper
Time to break out the flower and butter milk and make your own.
Just add the over easy eggs and grits and you are good to go
Think biscuits are hard to find? Try to find cream cheese at your local supermarket.

Lays potato chips are non-existent in our neck of the woods. I did a search and found out that there was an early frost that killed the potatoes off, IN AFRICA where they buy their potatoes.

Bubba, I think that potato shortage only caused problems if you live in S. Africa. I believe all the chips made here are from North American growers. The stores I shop at locally never seemed to run out of Lays over the last couple of years but I wish I could say the same about everything else. Your shortage could be from lack of labor, transportation, packaging or a lot of other things. We sure have seen the domino effect when it comes to food production disruption the last two years. Bob
Do ya'll have a Bojangles near by? They have good biscuits you can buy a sack full of them.
Have noticed the same at both WM and Kroger the last month or so, including the cream cheese and some other dairy products being hit and miss. We always have some flour and bisquick on hand, but i don't ever have buttermilk, What can you use instead? I want to try @notnow 's recipe...
Today I learned that people buy biscuits. Who knew?!
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
those people buying biscuits.....
I always have some of this on hand;
Powdered buttermilk. It does the trick for baking biscuits or for marinating chicken. Also, if you do an online search you will find a way to make buttermilk by adding white vinegar to regular milk. When I am too lazy to make scratch biscuits, I use the frozen Pillsbury ones. I find them superior to the canned ones. Bob
You can use regular milk, also
I drink a tall cold glass of buttermilk everyday! Always keep at least a gallon (two jugs) on hand. I know it is an acquired taste, but I was weaned on that stuff.
When it comes to fast food biscuit sandwiches I find they are so *&^% DRY that I just about choke trying to eat them. I always buy the English muffin type breakfast sandwiches instead.
Bojangles steak and egg biscuits are my favorite.
That explains it.....I ate at Bob Evan's the other day and I had to ASK for Biscuits to go with my breakfast...Sounds like hard times are coming !
So.... like 2 people?

Corn flour biscuits, use gas instead.
Old Indain say:
Only a White man think take food and make gas and make things better.
Maybe try to make biscuits from gas.
If you ever run across a biscuitville restaurant check them out they have really good biscuits.

Did the name give it away?

Whampum biscuits, disgrace to be even compared to a nice fresh baked cat head.
@Butchdog2 translation please???? LOL!
I don't know who was comparing biscuits to that, but it sure seems... most dire.

not that often but a few times a year I buy it just to drink just a throw back from when I a kid most we keep it on hand just for the biscuits
speaking of milk as a kid I remember mom ,dad would crumble up corn bread in milk sometimes buttermilk or just whole milk . I never acquired a taste for it 😝
Surly ya'll jest. City folks for sure, Living in the dark ages. Yankees?
Cat head, big ole biscuit, made from scratch about the size of a cat head.
Granny would bake them morning in a wood stove.
Left overs went into the warming cubbie at the top of the stove. Come over from school, yum yum, like eating cake forsure
Oh and whampum. that is what you do to a canned biskit, whamp it over the counter top edge.
My grandmother made 'em 50 at a time. She used a Clabber Girl can to cut them out. The left over dough was baked as a hoe cake.
She also made corn dodgers which is hard crust corn bread. I remember breaking a tooth on one when I was little.
Have you ever seen someone "saucer and blow" their coffee?
Yep, many a time.
And many a person saved by the sop of life.
oops stuttered a bit
